		Water
 Read these instructions carefully and determine the location of all system components before
	beginning installation.
 Check all applicable plumbing, building, and elect ical codes for installation compliance.
 Install the system on the main water supply.
 Systems that contain electronic components cannot be installed Systemsoutside in uncovered areas.
Water Conditions for Operation
	The water should be free of hydrogen sulfid			, a dissolv d gas with a characteristic smell of rotten
	eggs. If present, it can coat the cataly ic surface of he m dia and interfere with the process. The gas
	should be removed through adequate prerea ment.
	The water should be free of hydroc rbons, oils, nd lubricants. If present, they can coat the catalytic
	surface of the media and interfere with the process. Remove through adequate pre-treatment.
	The water should contain less th n 1 mg/l of phosphates. Phosphates sequester dissolved hardness
	molecules preventing them from forming cryst ls nd may coat the catalytic media surface and
	interfere with the process.
 The copper level in the water supply should be below the MCL of 1.3mg/L. If copper is present above
	this level, it can attach to the surface of the catalytic media and interfere with the process.
Pelican
	WARNING:
If this or any other system is installed in				metal (conductive) plumbing system, i.e. copper or
galvanized metal, the plastic components of the system will interrupt the continuity of the
plumbing system. As a result a			y errant electricity from improperly grounded appliances
downstream or pote tial galva			ic activity in the plumbing system can no longer ground

through contiguous met l plumbing. Older homes may have been built in accordance with building codes from dec des ago, some of which actually encouraged the grounding of electric l ppli nces through the plumbing system. Consequently, the installation of a bypass consisting of the s me m terial as the existing plumbing, or a grounded "jumper wire" bridging the equipment nd re-establishing the contiguous conductive nature of the

plumb ng system must be installed prior to your systems use.

CAUTION:

When add ng f ltration/softening system to homes/buildings supplied by well water, the system should be insta d fo owing the pressure tank. DO NOT USE this system for pneumatic or hydro pneumatic applications. If you are using a booster pump, then install this system following the booster pump. If you have questions, please call customer service.

Whole House Iron & Manganese Filter - If the Red Clips are in the slots (female opening of Electronic Head) remove them. Push the male O-Ring side of the Bypass Valve into the female opening of the Electronic Head. Push the Red Clips back into the slots to tighten.

Notice:

The Bypass Valve on the Electronic Head can be set to Bypass or Service by turning the knobs on the side of the valve. If the holes are up and down then the tank is in the Bypass Mode. If he hol are side to side then the tank is in the Service Mode. Do not remove the red clips from the Bypass Valve af r conn cting to main water supply.

Note: The Whole House Water Filter and the Salt Free Softener/Conditioner flow in a different direction than the Iron Manganese Filter. The Red Arrows on the Whole House Filter and Softener/Conditioner

	Bypass may be pointing in a different direction then shown in Figure 2. If this is the ca e, remove the Red
	Arrows by pulling them straight up. Turn them around and reposition correctly onto the Bypass Valve so
	they are positioned as shown in Figure 2.		Systems
